Wire cover for electronic equipment stand and furniture

Abstract

An electrical cord concealment and support system comprising a first slot, a second slot, a cover and a cavity. The cover and the slots are capable of creating a concealment for wire cords of electronic equipment. The cover is aligned with both of the slots and then inserted into the slots. Once the cover is inserted, the cavity is created. The cavity and cover provide a concealment for the cords of electronic equipment placed on the shelves.

What is claimed is:  
     
       1. A shelving system for concealing cables from equipment on a shelf that is supported by a frame, the system comprising: 
       a first slot placed along one side of the frame;  
       a second slot placed along the same side of the frame; and  
       a cover having a top, a bottom, a first and a second side, and a width from side to side that is greater than a distance between the first slot and the second slot, wherein the first side is inserted into the first slot and the second side is inserted into the second slot to create a cavity from the top to the bottom of the cover which contains the cables.  
     
     
       2. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first slot and the second slot are angled. 
     
     
       3. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first slot and the second slot are continuous. 
     
     
       4. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first slot and the second slot are intermittent. 
     
     
       5. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the cover from top to bottom has a length that is equal to a length the slots extend. 
     
     
       6. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the cover from side to side has a width that is greater than a distance between the slots causing the cover to bow. 
     
     
       7. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the slots are created by a member affixed to the frame. 
     
     
       8. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the slots are routed into the frame. 
     
     
       9. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the slots exist along a back surface of the frame. 
     
     
       10. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the cover is a plastic material. 
     
     
       11. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the cover has a color that accents the shelving system. 
     
     
       12. The system of  claim 1 , wherein a wire hole is placed through the frame in relation to the cover and the slots. 
     
     
       13. A shelving unit comprising: 
       a frame;  
       a shelf; and  
       a shelving system for supporting the shelf relative to the frame, the system comprising:  
       a first angled slot created along one side of the frame;  
       a second angled slot created along the same side of the frame and which is substantially parallel to the first angled slot; and  
       a cover having a top, a bottom, a first and second side, and a width from side to side that is greater than a distance between the first slot and the second slot,  
       wherein the first side is inserted into the first angled slot and the second side is inserted into the second angled slot to create a cavity to contain the cables.  
     
     
       14. The system of  claim 13 , wherein the angled slots have a depth sufficient to secure the sides of the cover therein causing force on the cover resulting in the cover bowing out to create the cavity. 
     
     
       15. The system of  claim 13 , wherein the angled slots are located along a back surface of the frame. 
     
     
       16. The system of  claim 13 , wherein a wire hole is placed through the frame in relation to the cover and the slots. 
     
     
       17. A shelving system for concealing cables from equipment on a shelf that is supported by a frame, the system comprising: 
       a first slot placed along one side of the frame;  
       a second slot substantially parallel to the first slot;  
       a cover having a top, a bottom, a first and second side, and a width from side to side that is greater than a distance between the first slot and the second slot, wherein the first side is inserted into the first slot and the second side is inserted into the second slot such that force is applied by the slots to the first side and the second side of the cover causing the cover to bow and create a cavity for the cables to lie.  
     
     
       18. The system of  claim 17 , wherein the first slot and the second slot are angled. 
     
     
       19. The system of  claim 17 , wherein a wire hole is placed through the frame in relation to the cover and the slots. 
     
     
       20. The system of  claim 17 , wherein the slots exist along aback surface of the frame.
